It’s been awhile but we couldn’t let spooky season come and go without finding something spooky to watch. Somehow neither of us had seen Danny Boyle’s ‘28 Days Later’ (2007), so we strapped in and watched a movie about deserted city streets, a world gone quiet, and a quickly spreading virus. Yeesh. Luckily, it’s quite a compelling movie, shot very …

Thwip thwip, New Yorkers, it’s your friendly neighborhood hype machine. How much of a movie do you consume before even stepping foot in the theater? In the case of 2014’s ‘The Amazing Spider-Man 2’, we gleefully gobbled up as much of Gwen, the Goblin, and the Garfield as we could in the year leading up to the movie’s release; so much so that we fel…

Peaches, peaches, the magical fruit. ‘James and the Giant Peach’ is dark and delightful, warm and wonderful. You’ll learn the value of found family and have the shit scared out of you by a rhino the size of a storm front. Other takeaway lessons: eat the radioactive wriggling rotini the spooky magic man offers you because only good things can come o…

Floop. Thumb Thumbs. Fooglies. ‘Spy Kids’ is nothing if not bonkers and utterly memorable. It’s certainly a Robert Rodriguez joint, with all the flair, eyebrow arching, and action to satisfy all but the most demanding of filmgoers. The story and characters have heart, the gadgets were the height of coolness as a young viewer, and the solid Latin ro…

Adolescence. It’s the harrowing period of time where everything is sweaty and stressful, awkward and anxious, chaotic and changing. ‘Agent Cody Banks’ dives into this dangerous mission with a lot of intentions. It’s difficult to encapsulate the preteen and teen years in a way that feels honest and accurate because everybody’s experience was differe…

What if you wrote a nifty little story and a deranged movie studio executive stole it to make a blockbuster? What if ‘Big Fat Liar’ could essentially be used to describe you and your out-of-control fibbing? It’s almost like a parable about the value of honesty! Maybe the villain could be named Wolf and the figurative shepherd boy figuratively cryin…

Surprise! Your grandma is not only Julie Andrews but is also royalty. ‘Princess Diaries’ (2001) is a staple of the early 2000’s as well as being the film that launched Anne Hathaway to stardom. Henri watched the DVD countless times as a kid and Dylan hadn’t ever seen it, so we kicked off a mini-run of childhood favorite movies with this San Francis…

Gird your loins! A stellar cast makes ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ (2006) a slick and stylish watch. Everybody has had a terrible and over-demanding boss at some point, but Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) probably takes the cake. Watching this in 2021 brings up some questions for the fashion industry about its impact on the health and sanity of people b…

Thirty, flirty, and thriving! ‘13 Going On 30’ (2004) joins the long list of body swap/magical realism movies like ‘Freaky Friday’ and ‘Big’ that we can’t seem to get enough of. This movie adds time travel and wishing dust to zap our main character from her 1987 self to her 2004 life and body. Hilarity ensues. Jennifer Garner is electric as the tra…

‘It Happened One Night’ in 1934: one of the earliest romantic comedies, a forerunner of the screwball style, and one of only three major Oscar’s sweeps. Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert Star in this bus opera that follows an heiress and a journalist as they outrun private detectives and the substantial reward for her safe return. It’s a romp, it’s…

It’s time for a slice in ‘Mystic Pizza’ (1988). We made it through the Fast & Furious franchise and now it’s time to slow it down, eat some ‘za, and drool over Vincent D’Onofrio, who’s lookin like a real slice himself. ‘Mystic Pizza’ follows three young women (Julia Roberts, Annabeth Gish, and Lili Taylor) on the cusp of adulthood in a small seasid…

‘Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw’ (2019) has a bit of everything and maybe a bit too much of Hobbs & Shaw. We honestly enjoyed ourselves much more than we thought we would after getting reeeal tired of the Rock taking up all the oxygen in F8. This is a whole different thing, though. It’s as if the Rock (and Statham, though we didn’t mind him …

We’ve made it (basically) to the end. ‘The Fate of the Furious’ (2017) is just as big and brash as the rest of the series, but a new director, a bit more cgi, and no Brian means that it feels a little different. It’s by no means a bad movie nor is it the worst of the franchise, but a couple cracks are showing. The Rock, once a welcome and cheesy ad…

In a way, it’s all led to this. ‘Furious 7’ (2015) feels like a culmination, the main event, our gold standard. At this point in the series we’re utterly attached to Dom, Brian, and the rest of the family. We’ve thrilled at the races, gasped at the outrageous stunts, and smiled at the undeniable warmth of many a family barbecue. The series itself h…

Cheerio and welcome to London, bruv! In ‘Fast & Furious 6’ (2013) our fearless family is living the good life after their adventure in Brazil, but Agent Hobbes is back with some shocking news and the proposition of another team-up. Dom and the crew are faced with an uncanny mirror version of themselves when a highly skilled team of fast-driving thi…

They played it safe with ‘Fast Five’ (2011), and by that we mean they pulled out the stops and vaulted the franchise into full action car heist extravaganza. For this one we head down to Rio where a special team has been assembled to pull off a big job. Everybody’s back for the ride and we’re gonna need every piece of this team to outrun the Rock a…

We’re on to #4 with ‘Fast & Furious’ (2009)! It’s the franchise that won’t quit and this week’s entry is yet another course correction. We loved Tokyo Drift but it didn’t drift its way to massive profits, so Dominic Toretto is back, baby. Now he’s got Sherlock vision, which comes in handy when a loved one dies while driving undercover for a drug ca…

We’re going much faster than fifty in our fiftieth episode—it’s ‘Tokyo Drift’ (2006)! Technically the title is ‘The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift’ (2006), but we’re moving too fast for all that. Matt is back and also joining us is car aficionado Ben! That’s right, this time there’s actual background knowledge in the mix! Think of it as intellec…

Miami, baby! We’re going ‘2 Fast 2 Furious’ (2002) this week, joined again by Matt. There’s gonna be jet skis, palm trees, and enough nitrous to make the world get all streaky. Brian (Paul Walker) is on the lam after letting Dominic (Vin Diesel) run at the end of the last movie, landing his crazy eyes and pure charisma in the Florida street racing …

We record this show a quarter mile at a time. ‘The Fast The Furious’ (2001) is many things, from macho car-obsessed eye-feast to an incredibly of-its-time, no-holds-barred intro to what would become a massive and hugely popular mega-franchise. Are we using too many hyphens? It’s a high-octane, family-focused joyride on the mean streets of LA, with …

This week we discuss ‘Beau Travail’ (1999), directed by Claire Denis. It’s a gorgeous and spare story set in Djibouti on the Horn of Africa and follows a group of men in the French Foreign Legion, one of whom becomes gripped by jealousy and wields his power to disastrous results. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/…

This week’s movie isn’t a film noir...it’s a pinot noir. ‘Sideways’ (2004) follows two friends on a trip to California’s central coast in search of wine, good times, and one last fling before Jack’s wedding. Jack is the has-been actor whose electric smile is a few watts dimmer than years past, while Miles is the wine aficionado and the sad one. He …

What if keeping your blood alcohol content at .05% made your life better? ‘Another Round’ (2020) follows four friends testing that hypothesis...to wildly varying effect. This Danish export starring Mads Mikkelsen (of Hannibal, Dr. Strange, and Casino Royale fame) is, by turns, hilarious, tearjerking, and uplifting. It defies expectations and lives …

Who is ‘The Illusionist’ (2010)? Is he a magician, bringing small miracles to life for the entertainment of a willing audience? Is he an old man, watching the world pass him by? Is he the guilt of an artist who put their craft before all else? In this case, anyway, he is not Edward Norton, Christian Bale, or Hugh Jackman. He is Jacques Tati, Monsie…

It’s ‘Playtime’ (1967). We went classic this week with the intriguing and influential Jacques Tati. He was a master of physical comedy, starting off as a mime on the European vaudeville circuit before moving into film, where his instincts served him well. Famously not a fan of closeups, Tati worked in wide—letting the legs and body do the work inst…

“Most happiness comes from like, dumb things.” One of the best things about movies is how varied they can be. It’s all moving lights and synchronized sound but there’s no end to the stories you can tell of the things you can portray. This week we talked about ‘Kajillionaire’ (2020), a curious and funny film written and directed by Miranda July. The…

Sailing for adventure, we went to ‘Muppet Treasure Island’ (1996) this week! It’s a wild and dangerous place filled with all manner of well-crafted sets, fun musical numbers, and a healthy amount of Tim Curry. All your favorite Muppets are here, the main character’s Mullet is here, and all is right with the world; we love this goofy world where any…

Again Tyler joins us to finish talking about ‘Wildlife’ (2018), a quietly wild movie about humans being quietly wild. The film explores the idea that we don’t stop being individuals when we get married and our needs don’t disappear just because we have children, but that, uh oh, those children have got some individual needs themselves. How do we ma…

This week our buddy Tyler is back to discuss ‘Wildlife’ (2018), Paul Dano’s directorial debut. It’s a lush, restrained look at family and what holds it together, centered around a couple and their son who have recently been uprooted to Montana, where a raging wildfire looms on the horizon. Their lives as a unit and as individuals become more compli…

This is part 2 of our Twilight Saga (2008-2012) mega episode! Check out the first part or just jump right into the thick of it. Come along with us and our good friend Kate (resident Twilight scholar) as we search for truth, meaning, and a good answer to the eternal question: how did they manage to make a series centered around Bella into a sexy gru…

At long last we return to the Twilight Saga (2008-2012) with our fearless guide Kate. After spending an episode (and another bonus episode) discussing the first, we watched the next four films in a delighted, wine-fueled gorge, kicking off our fascination with vampire stories. Months later we reworked our way through the fantastically mixed bag tha…

‘Hail, Caesar!’ (2016) wasn’t what we expected when we asked our buddy Tyler to join us on the show. We knew we’d like to talk about a Coen Brothers movie (Tyler and Henri watched every single one in a movie marathon that took several weeks), but their shiny ‘love letter to Hollywood’ isn’t the first that springs to most peoples’ minds when they th…

No soundscape, no format, no rules. Where are your heroes now? Henri and Dylan get together to follow up on a juicy hot take from the hallowed hermit himself, Alan Moore. Everyone and their mother has weighed in on the impact of superheroes (and the many superhero films dominating cinema in the 21st century) but has anyone gotten this candid? Has a…
